The operational state of a component is represented by text or a state indicator (icon) in the Tree View. The operational state of a component does not reflect the operational state of the entire system.
Text Description | State Indicator (Icon) | Primary Operational State Description |
---|---|---|
OK |
|
No action is required. The component is operating normally. |
Warning |
|
The component or subsystem is reporting a condition that does not threaten system operation, but could worsen over time, so you need to monitor the condition. |
Critical |
|
Take immediate action, as the component or subsystem cannot continue to operate in this state. Critical conditions are handled internally by components or subsystems, causing them to shut down.
|
Fatal |
|
Immediate action must be taken to return the system to its normal operating state. The component or subsystem has failed. |
Unknown |
|
The severity level of the component is unknown. In rare cases the underlying software receives an unexpected status or information from a managed device, and does not know how to handle it. |
